WET MAGAZINE
Wet was an avant-garde Los Angeles-based magazine that revolved around the idea of “gourmet bathing” and later evolved to “gourmet bathing and beyond.” Its publisher and creator was Leonard Koren, an architecture school graduate. The magazine covered cultural issues and was known for its innovative use of graphic art.[citation needed]

Wet lasted 34 issues, spanning the years 1976 to 1981.
